Chelsea boss Mourinho chooses Courtois

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will go with Thibaut Courtois tonight at Burnley.

The Telegraph says Courtois has the chance to make the Chelsea goalkeeping position his own and end Petr Cech's 10-year grip on the club's gloves.

Courtois made it clear that he only wanted to return from his three years on loan at Atletico Madrid to play first-team football at Chelsea.

It seems that, barring any last-minute changes of heart or injuries, manager Mourinho has granted Courtois his wish, which will put 32-year-old Cech's future in doubt.
